77	APC = article processing charges - NOTE you will have to pay this to publish the paper in the open access only journal or have a fee waiver approved (usually at submission stage)
78	DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) = useful resource for checking basic open access journal info
79	Most journals now allow "green access" i.e. self archiving
80	You may also want to consider pre-printing (especially if you don't have funding for gold open access)
